Lyra

Lyra is an interactive environment that enables custom visualization design without writing any code. Graphical “marks” can be bound to data fields using property drop zones; dynamically positioned using connectors; and directly moved, rotated, and resized using handles. Lyra also provides a data pipeline interface for iterative visual specification of data transformations and layout algorithms. Lyra is more expressive than interactive systems like Tableau, allowing designers to create custom visualizations comparable to hand-coded visualizations built with D3 or Processing. These visualizations can then be easily published and reused on the Web.

Massive Pixel Environment

Massive Pixel Environment (formerly Most Pixels Ever: Cluster Edition) is a library from the Texas Advanced Computing Center's A Thousand Words Project, inspired by and expanding on the original Most Pixels Ever developed by Daniel Shiffman. It extends Processing sketches to multi-node tile displays, enabling users to display output across multiple systems and displays, at the native resolution of those displays. This allows for a dramatic increase in the amount of data that may be visualized at one time, in comparison to a single-screen display.
